​Engulfed by the pitch darkness
There was a reign of terror around
Everyone trying to find a way
Among the thorns that surround
There once stood some fellows
Their souls crippled with bruises
They tried to ignite a flame of light
From the fire within that refuses
To give up itself to the stark terror
Tried until a ray of light was born
They were giving it all their strength
Even if it left them extremely torn
People enjoyed the illuminating light
But they were afraid to move ahead
Not to move out of their safety shell
For darkness threatened to behead
When none came forward to assist
The light bearers were falling weak
Yet they won't give up, won't resist
Untill the light consumed them all
One by one they fell to the ground
People mourned but it didn't last
Nobody dared to make a sound
For the terror began to peep out
And flickering was the dying light
Giving way to emerging darkness
This time with an invincible might
Embracing people in illusions of peace
The mighty dead were long forgotten
As the people fell in a deep slumber
Dreams of liberatiom turning rotten
Within the tight clutches of fright
They were stripped of their identity
Their fears held them in shackles
Alas! Had they held on to their integrity
